As the Wu-Tang Clan resurgence continues, Inspectah Deck is next up to bat as he gets set to release his fourth solo album. Deck enlists a who’s who of highly acclaimed MC’s to rhyme beside him on the album including Raekwon, Kurupt, Billy Danze of M.O.P, Cormega, Cappadonna, Termanology, Planet Asia and more. Production on “Manifesto” is handled by The Alchemist, Lee Bannon, MoSS, Phenom (Young Money’s Roger That), Deck himself and others.

“This album isn’t about bashing hip-hop’s younger generation or hip-hop’s commercialism. “Manifesto” is a celebration of 20 years in the game and still going strong as a valued asset to the culture,” said Inspectah Deck.

“Manifesto” is being released on Deck’s own Urban Iconz Records via Traffic Entertainment Group.

Wait! I hear you say. Didn't Chamillionaire say he wasn't dropping
mixtapes any longer? At least in the real sense? He did
(refer back to first paragraph) but labels and laws
being what they are, well, I'm going to let him tell it...

“I felt it was time to take it back to the original grind that made these major companies pay attention in the first place. I don’t think there is any reason why any artist with real knowledge of independent hustle, should sit and wait for any major system to work for them, BUT, because I am signed to a major recording label, there are still a lot of things that I would like to be able to do, that I’m not really allowed to do. Politics in this business often stand between a creative mind and the grind but I’m gonna try my best to feed my fans without getting into too much trouble.”

Major Pain went up on Chamillionaire.com a few weeks ago for pre-order and has already sold several thousand copies.

Next on the agenda is a planned tour with Paul Wall with whom Cham enjoyed early independent success, releasing acclaimed albums such as “Get Ya Mind Correct” for which they were nominated for a Source Award for Best Independent Album. The tour kicks off with a South By Southwest headliner show in Austin on March 17th (Chamillionaire/Paul Wall, Trae Tha Truth, Dorrough, Chalie Boy and more) and includes stops in Flagstaff, Las Vegas, Tucson, Phoenix, Anaheim, Ventura, Los Angeles, Tulsa, Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, Denver, Albuquerque, Billings and Boise with more confirmed dates to be announced.

“The lack of marketing and promo budgets in a weak economy isn’t gonna keep me from touring to different cities and releasing music to fans that still demand it. Thats why I decided to start the Major Pain series and tour with Paul. It’s what the fans want.”

Well, I guess you can get what you want… sometimes. Stay tuned for tour updates and venue information.

Over 100 of the greatest MCs have contributed to a newly released book
called, “How to Rap: The Art & Science of the Hip-Hop MC”. It is their
words, their thoughts, their advice, and their stories.

Kool G Rap provides the foreword and the list includes Big Daddy Kane,
Clipse, Mobb Deep, Souls of Mischief, Nelly, Masta Ace, will-i-am,
Chuck D, Cypress Hill, Twista, Immortal Technique, and A Tribe Called
Quest.

The artists take you through the A to Z of rapping and what it takes
to become a great MC – sharing all the tricks of the trade, including
writing in your head, punch-in styles, and rocking the crowd.

There is also the first complete breakdown of rap’s “flow”, allowing
you to create tongue-twisting compound rhyme styles like Kool G Rap
and Eminem, complex conversational flows like Nas and OC, the classic
old school patterns of Melle Mel, and everything in between.

“How to Rap: The Art & Science of the Hip-Hop MC” available here!

“I didn’t want our last record to be a bunch of second-rate material,” says Phonte. “I wanted to walk away from Little Brother knowing that I gave our fans all that I had to give, and said everything I wanted to say. With LeftBack, I’ve done that.”

CD drops on April 20th.
